Weight is a decent idea but it nerfs inside running which wasn't strong to begin with and didn't do enough to stop Power HBs from destroying CBs.
What's needed is to nerf Outside Rushing - maybe giving CBs a greater tackle radius and a slight boost to inside running.
this is exactly correct
ive said it since about season 5, inside rushing is awful so every defense completely neglects even attempting to gameplan vs the inside run and it makes it far too easy to just focus on either pass or outside run, it needs to be rock paper scissors but since the games inception we just have paper and scissors lol.
The issue has increased significantly, especially at lower tiers, since the new change to "weight" affecting tackle ability. So essentially you can run as well as ever outside (which was more of the issue with power backs in the first place) and now its even harder to successfully run up the middle (one of the main issues with the game)
